+        <emphasis>Access Control</emphasis> is a technology that is attracting more and
+        more attention as corporations and general end-users reel back from the onslaught
+        of advancements made by the malicious denizens of todays digitally connected
+        world. By utilizing various access control technologies the single loss exposure
+        introduced by these malicious users can be greatly reduced. With this reduction of
+        risk we can also reduce the total cost of ownership of a Fedora Core distribution.
+        Corporations and end-users alike benefit from the resultant product generated by a
+        little due diligence and due care of the filesystems available to them.

+    <para>
+        This due diligence and due care will be presented as a review, implementation, and
+        monitoring of the object instances that compose a filesystem by using the
+        various Open Source access control techniques and implementations available to the
+        general public. To enable end-users and system administrators alike to glean
+        meaningful content from this document, there will be a comprehensive review of
+        the structure and design of a filesystem at its most basic level. Further
+        explanation of access control mechanisms and methodologies should provide a solid
+        base from which to start securing the filesystems of fedora. This document will
+        also describe the administrative considerations and effects of the procedures
+        presented to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive understanding of the topic of
+        filesystem access control.
